Error: couldn't resolve module/action 'community.docker.docker_login'.

[gowizzard]

I have built a GitHub workflow and it should check the playbooks once, unfortunately I always get the following error:

syntax-check[unknown-module]: couldn't resolve module/action 'community.docker.docker_login'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.
Error: couldn't resolve module/action 'community.docker.docker_login'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

Here is the Ansible Lint GitHub workflow:

name: Ansible Lint

on:
    pull_request:
        branches: [ "main" ]

jobs:
    lint:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest

        steps:

            - name: Checkout repository
              uses: actions/checkout@v4

            - name: Run Ansible Lint
              uses: ansible/ansible-lint@main

And here is a test playbook:

---
- name: Deploy Docker Compose
  hosts: nuc
  become: true
  vars_files:
    - secrets.yml

  tasks:
  - name: Copy Docker Compose file
    ansible.builtin.copy:
      src: ../compose.prod.yaml
      dest: /home/gowizzard/compose.yaml

  - name: Login to the Container registry
    community.docker.docker_login:
      registry: ghcr.io
      username: gowizzard
      password: "{{ github_token }}"
    no_log: true

  - name: Pull images
    ansible.builtin.command:
      chdir: /home/gowizzard
      cmd: docker compose pull

  - name: Run containers
    ansible.builtin.command:
      chdir: /home/gowizzard
      cmd: docker compose up -d

  - name: Remove old images
    ansible.builtin.command:
      chdir: /home/gowizzard
      cmd: docker system prune -f

Does anyone know the reason for this and how to fix it?

Does #4049 answer your question? Let us know, maybe we need to specify more info.

PS. Please do not file support tickets as bugs. This one was not really a bug.

I found this discussion on a Google search for my similar lint issue.

This might be a bug. I received this lint error when I already had community docker installed. I had to reinstall with the --force flag to resolve the issue.

ansible-galaxy collection install community.docker --force

If it helps, I installed Ansible and Ansible-Lint on OSX via Homebrew.

Hi All, Im Installing AWX on EC2 instance but getting error as below, Please suggest Solution
$: ansible-playbook -i ~/awx/installer/inventory ~/awx/installer/install.yml
..........................................

ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'docker_login'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to be in '/root/awx/installer/roles/image_push/tasks/main.yml': line 2, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

---
- name: Authenticate with Docker registry if registry password given
